My Hero
Got this off of CNNSI's latest power rankings for baseball. This was under the Angels' heading:
Give Arturo Moreno credit for making a good first impression. The Arizona businessman said his first act as the Angels' new owner will be to reduce the price of the $8.50 beers at Edison Field. "I can go around the corner and get it for a buck and a half," he said. Chief Rum

Speaking of which...I just spent the weekend at Orlando theme parks.

Beer $8.50? A hot dog and soda 12.25? That is sooooo wrong.

Hot dog and a soda at Costco for $1.50 doesn't sound that bad right now. Heck, I can watch the game on their big screen tv's too.

Sounds about the right price. I got to about 20-25 games a year at Fenway. I usually spend about $40 for the two seats combined, about $20.00 for the parking and about $50 for the food.

Do you think it's a fair price though? I think the best thing to do is eat before you go to the games.

I watch minor league ball. $10 gets you tickets, a few beers, some peanuts, and a jumbo pretzel. Oh, and the players are not yet pricks.

I'd like to thank Greg Maddux and whoever pitched for the Mets on Sunday (someone Seo) for blazing through Sunday's game in ~2 hours and 5 minutes. The lady friend and her son and I were going to eat at the game, but by the time any of us got hungry it was already the bottom of the 8th. I figure that saved me what, $40?

One of the reasons I refuse to support Major League Baseball (and pretty much every other professional sport except football) with my dollars or attendance.

Did he just get called up or something? I clearly haven't been following baseball as closely as I usually do this year(odd since my Cubs lead the division), but I'd never heard of him, and I checked the box score at espn.com and there was no link to a player page on his name in the box score. He pitched well against the Braves Sunday, that's for sure. |

He was given a spot in their rotation to start the season and started off poorly but has improved as the season has gone on. The Braves game was his best performance that I had ever seen though, so not sure if it was indicative of Braves lethargic bats (even though the Braves had been hitting great up till recently) or if he is actually becoming quite a nice pitcher.

It would probably be cheaper to pay someone to leave the game, walk to the local *insert store name here*, buy those items, buy a general admission ticket to get back in to the game, and bring the food to you. edited hours later to correct poor grammar Last edited by Craptacular : 05-27-2003 at 10:10 PM. |

The price they charge for food at ball parks is pathetic! 12.50 for a hot dog and a Mountain Dew is crazy and 8.50 for a beer is just as bad. It pisses me off

I went to a Raptors game and paid $11 for a brew.

I like going to buck night for the Royals. I can get a good upper deck seat for $5 and small drinks, dogs, and peanuts are all $1.
